Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ: أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَالصِّيَامِ؟ صَلاَحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ الْبُغْضَةَ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ.

Abu al-Darda’ said: Shall I tell you something better for you than charity and fasting? It is reconciling relations between people. Beware: hatred is the shaver.

The saying uses the same striking ‘shaver’ metaphor for hatred as other reports in this section.
